The world looks better on a bike

Made this pizza last night. It was fuckin’ amazing. The end.

Some fresh photos seen over at Mash. The clear backed stickers are a welcome addition.

Bike safety is something we all think about and these two designs are definitely something new on the scene. The first one, hövding, was designed by swedish (of course) design company hövding sverige ab and is basically an airbag for your head. While this sounds extremely unpractical in as an idea the actual thing works out pretty damn well, check out the test dummy footage below and tell me this thing doesn’t know what it’s doing. The mechanism on the collar powers on when you snap it into place, and powers down when you take it off, housing a rechargeable battery for power. I can remember a particular day riding down market when I saw a girl get trapped in the cable car tracks and go down hard who could have used one of these things. Can you buy one you say? Fuck yeah you can! Head over to their store to get one for yourself.

The second entry for designy helmets is the “overade” helmet by Patrick Jouffret with Philippe Arrouart. The idea is to give you the protection of a regular helmet with the ability to fold away for quick and easy storage when you’re not wearing the thing. Who knows how the thing would actually fair in a crash but it’s an interesting concept none the less. This one isn’t a production model yet .

I’ve got a passion for stickers, well I guess moreso of an unhealthy obsession for them. I’m picky when it comes to stickers and only really love the ones that have had a good deal of time spent on them to make them something special and actually worth sticking on something. I’ve been slowly working on a side project to somehow catalogue worthwhile stickers to make it easier for people to find and get them. If you’ve got any suggestions for me (and I know there are SOME people reading this) please let me know. American, european, japanese, I’m interested in all of them so get at me about ‘em!
